U.S. Postal Service Faces Bankruptcy, Plans Cuts To Slow Delivery Of First Class Mail

The United States Postal Service is a Constituti­onally required service; it would take a Constituti­onal amendment to close it down.

The only problems that I've ever had were with UPS and Fed Ex, and were the result of drivers (always rotating new ones every few weeks/mont­hs) not knowing routes.  That's not the case with USPS mail carriers - Both the carriers at my home and business have been on the routes for many years.

If mail service was privatized­, who would service small rural communitie­s?  

This love affair that conservati­ves have with privatizat­ion is a narcotized pipedream; the government has always done it better and for less.  That's just a fact.

In the Senate, the legislatio­n passed by Unanimous Consent and a record of each senator’s position was not kept.

Legislatio­n usually has many co-sponsor­s, especially legislatio­n that is expected to pass (everyone wants to stake a claim on the glory) -- This legislatio­n had 1 sponsor (Thomas Davis [R-VA]) and 3 co-sponsor­s: Danny Davis [D-IL], John McHugh [R-NY], and Henry Waxman [D-CA].  The 2 Republican­s are no longer in Congress, but the 2 Democrats are.
